The armpit is the most painful place to get a tatoo!

People get tattoos for any number of reasons: to mark a significant life event; to advertise their love of Star Wars; to celebrate their heritage. But there’s always one recurring thread in receiving ink—it hurts.

How much depends a lot on where on your body the tattoo is going. According to Healthline, choosing an area with a surplus of fatty tissue and nerve endings combined with thinner skin creates a perfect storm for a tattoo artist to deliver the pain.

Tattoos are applied by using a mechanised needle to deliver pigment to the dermis just under the skin’s top surface. If you’re feeling particularly masochistic, the armpit might be the worst place to receive those injections. The next most tortuous area could be the rib cage, because in some people only a thin layer of skin covers the bone. (Breathing, which you’ll presumably be doing while healing, can also move the skin around and cause discomfort.)
